The galactose alpha 1-3 galactose (Gal alpha 1-3 Gal) residue is a carbohydrate widely distributed in many non-human mammals. Since Gal alpha 1-3 Gal residues are described on the cell surface of tumor cells, we have examined the possibility of their expression on human trophoblastic cells at different stages of placental implantation and in various pregnancy-associated conditions. Using immunohistochemical methods, Gal alpha 1-3 Gal was demonstrated on interstitial and vascular trophoblast during pregnancy. For villous trophoblast, the staining disappeared in second trimester pregnancies. The density of staining for Gal alpha 1-3 Gal was increased in highly invasive trophoblast (mole and choriocarcinoma) and decreased in poorly invasive specimens (spontaneous abortion, XO monosomia). No cells displaying Gal alpha 1-3 Gal at their surface were identified in some segments of spiral arteries from pre-eclamptic women. The anti-Gal antibody titer increased in the first trimester of pregnancy and in the sera of pre-eclamptic and eclamptic patients. These findings suggest that Gal alpha 1-3 Gal residues could be considered as markers for trophoblast invasive capacity and that the binding of maternal anti-Gal antibodies to the trophoblast could contribute to limit trophoblastic invasion and thus participate to the immunological control of implantation.

Synthesis of interstitial collagenase by human fibroblasts was compared when cultured on plastic, in the presence or absence of soluble laminin, on a type I collagen gel and on a gel of basement membrane components (matrigel). Fibroblasts cultured on matrigel or on type I collagen gel displayed an increase in the steady-state levels of mRNA for interstitial procollagenase that was proportional to its enzymatic activity. Laminin, the main component of matrigel, had no effect on the interstitial collagenase synthesis by fibroblasts. We suggest that matrigel, which stimulates the interstitial collagenase production at a transcriptional step, could regulate the catabolic potential of fibroblasts. [less ▲]

Type IV and interstitial collagenolytic activities were compared in human malignant and normal trophoblast cells cultured on plastic, in presence or absence of laminin in solution, on matrigel (a gel of basement membrane components) and on type I collagen gel. Laminin highly stimulated the type IV collagenolytic activity but not the interstitial collagenolytic activity, in malignant trophoblast cells. This glycoprotein had no effect on the interstitial collagenolytic activity and doubled the type IV collagenolytic activity in normal trophoblast cells. Thus malignant trophoblast cells produce preferentially the enzyme able to degrade basement membrane when in contact with laminin, and the enzyme able to degrade interstitial collagen fibers when cultured on type I collagen. On the contrary, type I collagen gel and matrigel equally increased both type IV and interstitial collagenolytic activities by normal trophoblast cells. Interactions of tumor trophoblast or normal trophoblast cells with the extracellular matrix result thus in distinct stimulations of collagenolytic activities. Increased production of type IV collagenolytic activity upon exposure to laminin appears to be specific of the metastatic phenotype. [less ▲]

The levels of laminin P1 fragment, a marker of basement membrane, and of the aminoterminal sequence of type III procollagen, a marker of interstitial connective tissue, were measured in human preovulatory follicular fluids. The concentrations of these peptides correlated with progesterone levels but not with those of estradiol or testosterone. Immunocytochemical studies confirmed the remodeling of the perifollicular basement membrane and interstitial matrix during oocyte maturation. The studies suggest that monitoring of the ovarian connective tissue macromolecules could be useful for estimating follicular maturation. [less ▲]

The interactions between invasive malignant cells and normal fibroblastic cells were studied in a cellular spheroid model in vitro. Murine B16 melanoma cells (previously cultured in monolayer for a short period) and 3T3 mouse fibroblasts (greater than or equal to 130 passages in monolayers) were cultured under tridimensional conditions (pure or mixed spheroids). As compared to pure 3T3 or mixed spheroids, B16 spheroids were smaller and characterized by a higher proliferation rate, a lower degree of necrosis, and a less abundant extracellular matrix. Disintegration was observed in some pure 3T3 or mixed spheroids. Melanogenesis progressively increased inside B16 or mixed spheroids. By immunohistochemical methods and electron microscopy, laminin, fibronectin and collagen I, III and IV in extracellular matrix were studied in the three types of spheroids. [less ▲]

Multicellular spheroids composed of mouse B16 melanoma cells have been prepared in non agitated culture on solid agar. Cells present frequent contacts and an extracellular matrix appears during cultivation (up to 2 months in agitated suspension); it contains laminin, fibronectin and collagen I, III and IV. Cellular differentiation takes place inside these spheroids (melanogenesis progressively increases), but a relatively intense cell proliferation rate is also maintained. [less ▲]
